The Sun. — London, England, 1838-01-16 00:00:00

~~ AV'SPAPER EXPRESSES. ~.,.: ; l ~~~' ~ " 4 - .:4 11f0m ritP Aberdeen Herald of January 13, 18.38, 1; -- . Two cl considerable importance has taken place in .c. c4 l ; ta ion w ith the ,letropclitan Press. The Sus has totally d t'oc True Sun, and the expiring rays of the latter 1(-11 brig'Alv—bright even in death—on thi s " nor th ern c i ty cold" 'some days ago. We always thought that this would ' be 'the upshot. Two Suns in one firmarrent was evidently ;in incongruity. The lesser, if it did not choose to becostle a mere satellite, must of necessity have fallen into the greater ; unless ; indeed both had contrived, like the beautiful double stars— the suns of far distant worlds—to revolve round a common centre. " lint why." it may be asked, "has the Tr-v 4.1.51,14 succumbed ?" The fact is that this adjective iritv, tO pre. Exed to What .Johnson calls " the luminary thet makes the ..lay," was horribly out of place; and to its, at least, instead of 'indicating a greater degree of reality, threw an air of sus;.ieien . ver the whole title. " Genuine Brandy"—" Genuine Old wir..:s"_.. , Genuine Teas"—and " Genuine Statif." in these clays oG-sophistication, are no doubt proper enough terms ; but :to speak of a true or genuine sun is u'terly absurd I If it is the sun, it must be the true sun ; for who could mistake the glorious countenance of Apollo, even though he rose red are? dusky through a London fog. Then, again, it must have beer, obvious to, the most casual observer, that the luminary self styled tr,ve was in a false position. Everybody knows that, on t. )- :is side the Equator, the shadow is cast northward ; and. ceire enough, the " Seth" darts its rays from the south side •rf one of the great thoroughfar of the metrevelis or, all vassers by. But the " True Jun," in utter defiance of its title and constant to its charactcr as an Opnositionist, shone stedfastly from the north,. reminding us forcibly of the phc nornern n of the mock sun, which, however beautiful, could not by possibility be enduring. And so it has proved ; the northern luminary has sunk into the bosom of its fathers. Yet this mock sun, or True Sun, was rather a favourite. it shone brightly even in its false position, and its rays warmed the hearts of many honest and stanch reformers. In its latter days it was not without influence ; its untimely fate is, we arc confident, deeply lamented, and by many will its memory con tinue to be blessed. To speak plainly and without figure, gentle reader, - although certainly we have only taken advantage of a very obvious me taphor, we have been wishing to tell thee that 'Mr. Young, the Proprietor of The Sun newspaper, hat purchased the copy right of his rival, the True Sun, an that now there is only one daily newspaper, called The Sun, issued from the Lo-,_ don Press —the T r..;, e s un, as the title of Mr. Young's paper now states, bcin,... Yncorporated with The Sun. By this change the Liberal r.ety have lost an able, but from its limited circu- Intim), not A very efficient org an ; an d they have gained what ever ad' antag,e may be d er i ve d from having a rather more I "der..te but equally independent advocate of their views P 1 !te,...t1 in a position which must give it commanding influence. V/W I the addition of the circulation of the True Sun, The :Sun will soon be placed at the head of the daily evening ress, and th ere arc pecu li arities in its management which, with ordinary prudence and activity, and a fair share of ability •on the part of its conductors, must prevent it from ever losing ground. The ending features of The Sun, and those which render it a favourite with country readers generally, and entitle it to the especial thanks of the provincial press, are its Expresses anti its regular and steady publication of the Parliamentary pro ceedings up to the latest possible moment previous to the de parture of the post. So far back as the year 1829—we mind the time well, it was on the occasion of Sir Robert Peel's re 'cantation of his opinions on the Catholic question—The Sun published the whole of the Baronet's speech. nearly a couple of pages, and had it into Sir Robert's own hand in less than half an hour after he sat down. Everybody recollects the ex ertions of The Sun during the Reform struggle. When the Leeds threw cut the Bill,Mr. Young himself travelled express to Glasgow in thirty-one hours, delivering papers containing a full report of the debate at every town on the way, and sending off horse -expresses by all . the important cross roads. Repeatedly, during that period of excitement, did The Sun express the full reports of debates and meetings to all parts of the country fully a day and a-half earlier than they could have been procured in the ordinary way. The last very remarkable feat performed by Mr. Young, as far as we can recollect, was his sending four reporters to Glas. gow to attend Peel's Banquet, and expressing a full Report of his Speech to London in twenty-six hours and a half— the express having left Glasgow, with the Report finished, in less than an hour after Sir Robert concluded. Over and over again have Mr. Young's expresses started two hours and two hours and a half after the mail, overtaking, it, quick as it travels, before it had proceeded eighty miles. But it is not for these striking feats that the public are so much indebted to Mr. Young, as for his steady perseverance in reporting, up till a late hour, th e P ar li amentary proceedings. Other journals, the Chronicle, the Advertiser, the Times, and the Herald, have all done wonders, on extraordinary occasions, but no at tempt, at least no successful attempt, has yet been made to rival the every -day expedition of The Sun. Should any of our readers be in London, and on the line of road from Wel lington -street to the House of Commons, during the sitting of Parliament, they will see, night after night, from five to seven , e'eleck, young dare-devil looking chaps on horseback, passing every five or ten minutes, as hard as they can gallop, threading their way in full career through a range of cabs, coaches, and omnibuses, which, to the inexperienced, would seem almost impenetrable even at a moderate pace. These are the post boys of The Sun ; and certainly, to look at them, one would imagine that they were under the direction of hair-brained Phwton, rather than of steady and cautious Phoebus. On the) go, better skelter, and woe betide the poor wight, figged out for dinner, who approaches too near tbe edge of the trottoir when they pass. Nothing but good management, persevering activity, and excellent ma c hi ner y, mechanical and mental,° could enable The Sun to publish as it does, night after night, the pro ceedings in both Houses of Parliament up till twenty minutes before seven. It must 'oe recollected that St. Stephen's is fully two miles from r:t i e Post.cffiee. This distance is travelled over—the last port',ons of the report are written out from the short him set up—th en w h at i s techn i cally called the .forme made and 'locked up, all before a single paper can be thrown off by the machine ; and yet several thousands must be printed, folded te l e in their respective covers, and put into the Post-of fice before half-past seven. The whole time occupied, from this moment that the reporter leaves his place in the gallery 'AI the papers arc in the Post-office, being only fiftyt minutes ! And even between seven and half-past seven, payment is re quired at the Post-office for every paper or letter that is posted. And it must not be thought that the reports thus hurriedl got up are either slovenly or inaccurate. Frequently, in the last quarter of a column, typographical errors are allowed to pass rather than run the risk of being too late ; but there is no carelessness in drawing out the reports. They are taken in short-hand by reporters, some of whom are among the best in she gallery, and are written cut fully and faithfully. In the early part of the evening, the reporters take fifteen or twenty minutelurns ; but, when it comes near the hour for stopping, the, turns are reduced to three minutes ; and this is done se systematically and regularly that there is no confusing or garbling of t h e speec h es. Generally each reporter writes out his own notes; but when the time presses hard, they dictate to parties who are at present to assist them. Boys on horseback, as we have already stated, gallop to the office at short intervals with the " copy," and, at twenty minutes past seven, a horse saddled and eith bags at each side is placed at the door to start off to St. Martin's-le-Grand, as ith the fruit of all this labour, whence it is distributed over the country, gratifying the appetite for early and accurate news. A few weeks ago, a rather amusing illustration of The Sun's expedition occurred. The Earl of Lichfield had delivered, in tie Hou se o f Lords, between six and seven o'clock, a philippic against Mr. Wallace of Kelly, for his interferenc e with the Post-office. Immediately afterwards, his Lordship went home ; and, before he had been there many minutes, lie was waited on i,y a friend of Mr. Wallace's, who came to ask if the speech, reported, was what his Lordship brd really said. The no tle Earl stared a little, and said it was impossible his speech could have appeared in print ; ho had (-Illy just delivered it, and he had no notes of it himself, and had given notes of it to nobody else. Look, my Lord, said his visitant, handing over the Sun ; ard, sure enough, there was his Lordship's speech tTrhatim, as lie afterwards confessed. His Lordship. who lakes charge of the lag-a-bag establishment, and is well paid for his trouble by the country, seemed to have t.o idea of the enterpris e and activity of private irelividuels. Our readers recollect to have read of the Post Office express, Is Lich started with the Glasgow Writ only half an hour after the mail, and which, by great exerti ons, was forwarded t o Gl asgow j ust three hours after the mail arrived. It was a pity the job was rot given to Mr. Young ; he would probably have overtaken the mad before it reached Barnet. a The °fixes ni The Sun and True Sun were on opposite sides of the street ; but the True Sunwass on she north s:de.

THE NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE.—It gives as great pleasure to learn that we may nt length hope to see revive' among us th a t g l ory of the age in which we live— the &stoma' Romance ; a species of work 11 hich has hitherto seemed to hare died with Scott. " Royston Gower, or the Days of Kirg John," is the title of a work o n th e p o i nt o f appearane-_, from the pen of or.e of the most extraordinary unters;of our d a y, b ut who has hitherto confined hi s efforts to mo-e limited subjects —we allude to Mr. Thomas Miller, who tiow boldly taxes his powers to the uttermost in the composition Of a regular " Hivorical Romance of tins Olden Time," and in the general manner (as we understand) of his immortal pre decessor, whose very footsteps he treads in, so far as relate; to the scene of his work— Sherwood Forest. That success may attend his high attempt must be the wish of every true lover of hit couritrya literature. THE WEATHER. —MURPHY'S ALMA NACK.--- We are anxious to call the attention of our readers to the precision f of Mr. Murphy's predictions of the weather, which are convincing the most sceptical that he has discerned au principles which regulate the changes in the weather. His almanack, we understand, can scarcely he printed fast enough, since the verification of his statements has been made good by every day that has yet arrived ; and the matter is attract ing the serious attention of scientific men, as well as of the agriculturalists, mariners, anti in fact all classes wilt? take an interest in the seasonable changes, whether iron, motives of profit or pleasure. If the predictions continue to be verified • in the present manner, it will certainly entitle Mr. Murphy to rank with the most beneficial discoverers of this or any former 1 age ; and some thanks are really due to the publishers ( Whittaker and C 0.,) who have so spiritedly taken up the publication prematurely derided by many.

We understand that an Address to her MAJESTY will be moved this evening in the House of Commons by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and in the Upper House by Lord MELBOURNE, on the affairs of Canada. It is possible that the debate may be adjourned in the Commons. The first and most important business of Parlia ment will be to adopt measures for tranquilizing the Canadas. What course the House of Commons will pursue to efFect that most desirable object, will mainly rest with the Cabinet. Should Ministers, carried away by passion, and confident of the support of the Tories, resolve to treat the insurgents with u►►due se verity, they will pare the way for the final destructio►► of Whig influence in the councils of the British nation. If they have any regard to their own position, or even to their political existence, they will pause before they commit themselves upon a question prejudged by the leaders of their own party Session after Session for the last ten years. Upon this subject, Mr. HUME has addressed a second letter to this Journal, which will be found in in another column. The Honourable Gentleman dwells with some emphasis upon our agreement with him that Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S tyran nical resolutions had the effect of accelerating the rebellion in Lower Canada. Surely he must have known this several months ago—for we predicted such an insurrection from the instant those resolutions were submitted to the House of Commons. We never sought to conceal the fact that the Canadians had many serious grievances to complain of ; but on the contrary, we took every occasion to urge the justice and the necessity of their removal. Indeed, as far as regards the question of grievances, we have been more explicit than even the Hon. Member forKilkenny him self. For instance, we have incessantly exclaimed against the official system of conferring all employ ments of honour and profit in the Lower Province upon Englishmen ; of attaching to all offices enormous salaries ; of bestowing a number of offices upon one individual, and confining others to members of the same family ; of excluding popular persons of French origin from the Legislative and Executive Council, and of appointing the slaves of the Administration to offices so incompatible with a subservient condition ; of rewarding services done to the Government by the most unpopular men, with extensive grants of land ; of a vexatious interference with the trade of the Colony ; and of a repeated contempt of the peti tions of the Legislative Assembly for the removal of individuals, who by their malversations had justly forfeited the confidence of their fellow-subjects—indi viduals who had disgraced the bench, by an open dis play of ignorance, partiality, and drunkenness. Our quarrel then with the Canadians is, not that they are not aggrieved, but that they are not aggrieved to an extent that could justify them in appealing to the decision of the sword. Canada was at no time more misgoverned than was England under the rotten borough system ; nor were her grievances half so numerous, nor so preg nant with misery, as these of Ireland at this moment ; and vet, where is the person who would undertake to affirm, that a civil war would be preferable to the Re form Bill, or that Mr. O'CONNELL would better con sult Irdand's interests, by preferring civil to moral warfare against abuses? Mr. HUME states that Lord JOHN RussELL's coercive Resolutions made the Canadians first think of an appeal to arms. We arc not entirely of this opinion. We are persuaded the leaders of the insur gents had for several years past meditated a forcible separation from this country. The Resolutions acce lerated—or rather precipitated—but certainly did not giv e rise to the determination to oppose force against the domination - of Great Britain. \Vete such a separation effected without violence—guarantees being given fur the protection of such British interests as the Crown is pledged to maintain—we should be the first to congratulate England on so happy an event. Let it be proved to us that the majo , rity of the inhabitants of the two provinces desire to be separated from us—that the French Canadians and British settlers are disposed to live in harmony together—that there exists a determination among all parties to respect the rights of each other— and that the interests of merchants and landowners here will be respected and compounded for ; and we shall rejoice to cut all connection with the Canadas, but such as we can maintain as a commercial people. The Canadas as free States would be twice as profit• able to us as they are, or ever can be as Colonies. But we are for no bloodshed. The fulsome panegyrics that have been heaped upon the speech of Sir JAMES GRAHAM compel us to notice matters that we should otherwise have deemed unworthy of our attention. We cared nothing for the lachrymose catalogue of personal grievances which the renegade Baronet piteously poured forth, seeing that he remained stout and stalwart, though no longer 4 Cock of the North "—nay, though we deprecate personal attacks of all descriptions, we were not alto gether sorry that the brave and honest little freeholders of Cumberland, who once almost worshipped this second WILLIAM TELL, as they thought him, did express their abhorrence of his treachery and apos racy, in a manner that admitted of " no mistake ;" but we are not disposed to pass unnoticed or unexposed all the fine things which the " Knight of the bright- TILE SUN ; LONDON,:nTENDAY, .JAiNITARY 1(, ,word" took this 00....asinn; with stto.k taste and truth, to say of himself. " lie," forsooth, "he never re ceived any pecuniary assistance in his Election con tests,"—Heed ; Does he rerneuabcr the fir§t for whids returned as an " Out-and-out" Liberd ? Does he remember the long and arduous contest, followed by a mom. expeusiYe o.'OtiY , r, for the town of Hull the money come from the . !.‘l6;varcl at Nethcrby on that occasion ? nothing received from a distinGnished s;47l'.trasble Peer, then the «,t-0 ":'!.7.y '6i h tie Liberals of York shin: I ,Ve would advise the Right Hon. Baronet to as 1, 1 ) , e , somewhatsome hi l InureC i. Z i a l i t i e in e n e e rgt.ltittn, may awkt'Aiilly corre c t e d as t o t h e d , , (lie will k now to what st l'efer), as to the other. is e l c CYCONNCLt, hOwever, has laid on the lash so un mercifully just now, that we 56cfve further ex posures to atiothr..l - ptoVoration. Never was Sovereign more ponttlar or more beloved 1 than her MAJESTV is by her faithful subjects in Ire- ' land—in a. country where the allegiance of the people had, till within th ese f ew years , been doubtful, and where an army of thirty thousand men has often been found inmtfficient to keep down rebellion. All accounts that we have seen, agree in z4!ating that at the late great meeting of It efornn!rs, held at the Theatre in Dub lin, when the name of their " young, gracious, and constitutional QUEEN" was pronounced, the enthu siasm exceeded all ordinary bounds ; and that the assembled multitude testified by one universal shout their heartfelt gratitude and their undivided alle giance. We can readily believe the fact. No people exceed the Irish in warmness of attachment, in frank ness of disposition, or in gratitude for benefits con ferred ; and we can easily imagine the fervour with which such a people, so long oppressed and so little accustomed to receive a kindness, would welcome the name of the first Sovereign that acts to wards them, not in the character of a con queror, but as their benefactor and friend. But three years ago they denounced, nay, almost set at defiance, the most successful warrior of the present age, supported too by the favour of his SOVEREIGN— now they yield implicit obedience to a young female, and vie with her English subjects in attachment and loyalty. It is needless to ask the cause of such a change. He that runneth may read. They have escaped for ever from the domination of a party that ruled them with a rod of iron—they have tasted the blessings of good Government ; and their peaceable, loyal conduct at the present auspicious period for Ireland's redemp tion, holds out the fullest prospect of a speedy and thorough redress of every national wrong. They have been branded as outcasts—they have been treated as an inferior race to Englishmen and Scotchmen —and have submitted to these insults with a patience which neither of these two nations ever displayed. The people of this country, h owever , know well that this patience arises neither from want of spirit nor want of courage ; that they are equal to them in bravery in the field, and in eloquence in the Senate ; and that they have far surpassed both in the mode of obtaining redress. Their enemies have heaped on them for the last two years every insult, with a view to excite them to rash acts ; but this base, this ungenerous political warfare, has only made them more guarded in their conduct, and more determined to obtain justice by the surest of all means, the force:of truth, and the influence of moral power. This country can• not with safety withhold from them much longer the rights and privileges of British subjects ; and we con , fidently trust that the day is arrived when all rational men of every party will unite in settling questions which only estrange from one another two nations that nature destined for friends. The words of Lord CHA RLEMONT, which were re-echoed by the audience, cannot be too much impressed on those that would still deny them their just rights. " Our meeting is an indication that we will never cease the zealous and virtuous exertions in which we are engaged till full and ample justice be done to our country. I should like to know why a distinction is made between Ireland and other portions of the British empire. It is a dis tinction I spurn, for we are equal to any of them." We are glad to see, by an advertisement in ano ther part of our paper, that the Anti-SPoTTls woomt subscription which we recommended to the attention of our readers, a few days ago, has made a prosperous commencement. We trust that it will proceed with equal spirit, and will prove to the world that the Reformers arc keenly alive to the necessity of supporting their cause, when it is in danger, from the attacks—in this case the unconstitutional and in famous attacks—of its enemies. Bad men have conspired against the liberties of their coun try ; it is, therefore, the duty of good men to combine in their defence. Let the Reformers throughout the kingdom hear this in mind, and exert themselves actively in furthering so meritorious a purpose. We observe in the list of subscriptions several contributions of one hundred pounds. This is truly honourable to the donors. We have no doubt the noble example will be followed by those whose means enable them to do so; at the same time, in our estimation, the poor man's mite dropped into the treasury of this patriotic Institution, from a regard to the great principle which it is its object to support, is as acceptable as the ample donation of his wealthier neighbours. The Paris journals of' Sunday have all been re ceived. On Saturday the Chamber of Deputies agreed to the Address by a majority of 100 votes —a majority which decides the question of the strength of Ministers for the ensuing Session. 1 lie debate was unimportant, few of the hading orators taking any part in it. The address, as agreed to, em bodies but two amendments upon the draught voted by the Committee—the first expressive of the sym pathy of France for Poland, the second runnin, , in a counter direction against intervention in Spain.

COMPARATIVE CIRCULATION OF THE EVENING PAPERS. The Standard, after three " days of grace," has exercised a sound, though unusual discretion, in not replying to our exposure of the tricks practised under the distinctive die, to produce a false effect on the public mind as to the circulation of the several Jour nals. This silence is as weighty an acknowledgment, on the part of the Standard, as those bursts of per. sonal invective in which it sometimes indulges, when facts can no longer he controverted. We shall merely add to this exposure of the tricks o f the' die" a few circumstances, and then leave the public, and particularly the advertising portion of it, to judge for themselves which is the Evening Journal which possesses the greatest circulation. The joint amount of stamps issued to the Son and True Sun, now united, according to the last go vernment return was The Standard, according to the same return, was 496,500 Shoring an exceBs by the Sun of The Globe, according to the same return ... 414,000 Shcwing an excess by the Sun of 108,500 The Courier, according to the same return, was 189,000 Shoving an excess by the Sun of 333,500 It will be seen, therefore, that according to this return the united Sun and True Sun are considerably at the head of all their Evening Contemporaries ; but.if other circumstances be considered, such excess, large as it is, is very far short of the excess arising from the pre sent circulation. It is well known that during the sitting of Parliament The Sun publishes a Second Edition every night, and by its Expresses, whenever such Second Edition is important, often transmits it more than 24 hours before the same intelligence is con veyed by other Journals. This exclusive ad. vantage obtains fur The Sun during the sitting of Parliament a vast accession of readers. Now during the months of July, August, September, Oc tober, and November, which the return alone com prises, Parliament does not usually sit, and con sequently the return for those months is most advan tageous for our Contemporaries, who do not resort to those expensive Expresses and regular Second Editions, and the least advantageous to us. In addition to which, the publicly advertised support of the vast mass of Coffeehouse-keepers, and the new features which we arc introducing of reporting the whole of the private business of Parliament, and the Country Markets, immediately after each takes place, cannot fail to increase our circulation in the metropolis among the professional Gentlemen of the three king. (loins, and the great body of the Agricultural Interest. Against tricks and clap-traps, therefore, we submit these plain and simple facts, and confidently leave the result to the judgment of the public. LADY CHARLOTTE BURY'S NEW NOVEL may well be called " Love," for almcst all the dramatis personm arc in love. They arc involved in exquisite perplexities, be set with infinite perils, oppressed by grievous trials and disap pointments, but in the end love is triumphant ; and the reader whose sympathies have been strongly called forth, and whose sensibilities have been wrought upon by the fond, firm, and enduring affection of Lady Herbert for her husband, in spite of sins the most palpable and gratuitous on his side, and by the sweet intelligence and beautiful devotion with which her daughter clings to and comforts her, admits at the close that he has rarely been introduced to a set of lovers, married or s ingle, whose company he was better pleased with, or to a set o f pro fligates, male or fl:rnale, whom he execrated with more satisfaction. —Court Journal. Vv SK A ITING EXTRAORDINARY. Amongst the skaiters who attracted the greatest degree of attention on the Serpentine, on Sunday, were Messrs. Horace Twiss and Ben- D'lsraeli. Mr. Tvriss excited peculiar admiration by j the rapidity of his retrograde movements. Mr. D'lsraelli had scarcely ventured on the slippery surface when the ice broke, and the Hon Gentleman was up to his neck in mud. Fortu nately he had essayed over shallow water, and the absence of danger enabled the crowds upon both banks of the river to in dulge in loud and hearty laughter. " Nay, why smile ?" en quired Mr. D'lsraeli, as again dashing away just as if nothing had occurred. Holmes and Ross, two of the men of the Humane Society, exerted themselves with their accustomed activity to rescue Mr. Twiss from a very perilous situa tiou. They carried him to the receiving -house in Pall mall, where he partially recovered.

COMMON PLEAB.—(iliin DAY.) the Ceitrt etas occupied the greater part of this morning with a case which pi4seiscd little publid interest, thti raii.t being a mere dry ques, tion of law—whether, in an action for debt, two of the eonnts being for Mork ai.d labour, and the third fur goods bargained and sod, the Ltird Chia Parlng put it to the Jury if they thought the two first counts could be maintained, (tie .11:1 finding for the plaintiff damage' Is., the Com t could a:ter the post ea in regard to fakfftlon of costs, re- Forditi ,, a verdict for the d fondant on the first two counts, and lid the ti'aitititrikt the Efl!fti ) With It damages ? The Ciitiar unanimously hat thM it having clearly been the inten tion of the Jitrji to &Clete that the plaintiffhad no right to any remune katioil rot work and labdtir, it was perfectly competent for the Court to enter a verdict for the defendant off the two first Counts, and they deCided accordingly. tXeitEQUEII, COURT.—(T HIS DAY.) (Beford Lord ABINGER.) JON .$ V. LANE. Mr. Simextxsow said the plaintiff in this ease was Edwin .1( nes, the acceptor of a Bill of Exchange for 500!., Which was the &les t of the suit; and the defendant, Richard Lane, the present bider of the bill, and also the holder of a cognovit, which the plaintiff had given, in respect of an action on that bill, to Messrs. Durant and Co., the original holders of the bill of exchange. The object of the present bill was to procure the delivery up of the Bill of Exchange and the cognovit, and for an injunction in the mean time to restrain proce4l.l - on the cognovit, and also proceedings at law on the hill itself. Mr. TEMPLE submitted that there was a defect in the bill fJr n' of parties, Messrs. Durant and Co. not being before the Court. His LoßnsiliP said that prima fade they appeared necessary parties, and the bill must stand over to amend. QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.) RIOT AND RUFFIANLY ASSAULT. —Jamey Harris, Thom is Collel,and Frances Spicer were charged with creating a dreadful riot, and Harris with having inflicted a severe wound with a half-gallon measure upc n the head of a boy of eleven years of age. Police Constable Exton, 11J B, stated that he was on duty in George. street, Chelsea, about twelve o'clock last night, when he heard repeated cries of murder, and, on going into a notorious place called Evans's buildings, he saw the whole of the defendants and others, to the amount of a hundred, all engaged in a general fight. He endeavoured to se parate them; but the confusion was so great that his effirts were at that time unavailing. During the time he was endeavouring to quiet the parties, defendant Harris struck a boy of about eleven years of age upon the head with a half-gallon pot. He gave the defandants, who were the most riotous, into custody, and took the boy to St. George's Hospital. The defendants all said they had been drinking ; and it appeared that the father of the boy had been compensated for the injury done. Mr. WHITE expressed his determination to suppress such scenes, and ordered them all to find good bail for their appearance at the Sessions. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) POVERTY AND CRIME.- Wm. Lath and John M'Donald, who had only a few moments before their capture started from the purlieus of Saint Giles's on an excursion, were charged with stealing 271 b. of bacon from the shop of Isaac Tomlinson, 130, Drury-lane. John Venten, a turner, residing next house to prosecutor, stated that ab out half-past nine o'clock this morning he was passing by his neigh bour's shop door, when he saw the prisoners, in company with another not in custody, standing together, and suspecting they were about to commit a felony, he watched them, and immediately saw Smith enter the shop and take the bacon produced under his arm, and walk away with it to Lincoln-court, where the other prisoner was waiting with a sack to receive the plunder. While they were both trying to stow the bacon into the bag he seized M`Donald, and the prosecutor coming up at the moment, he went in pursuit of the other; and after a sharp chase, with the assistance of Field of the F division, he was taken into custody in Princes-street. In answer to the charge, M`Donald said he had belonged to the un fortunate British Legion, and being in a starving condition he was compelled to join his companion in committing a felony. Mr. TWYFORD ordered both the prisoners to be fully committed for trial. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, JAN. 15.—Wind N.

This quarterly sale, amounting to 8,057 chests of various descrip tionns, commenced this morning at the Commercial Sale-rooms, Mine. ing.latie. There were not many buyers in town last night ; and, owing to• late accounts from the East, stating that the crop would be considerably more than was previously expected, it was antici , pared that this would be a languid sale. As far as the sale. hag gone it has proved so. Ti:ere were very few buyers in attenclance . this morning, and business progressed heavily, great portions being bought in ; while in the little that was sold there was no very obvious or striking afteration from previous market prices when we left ; still it is too soon yet in the sale to speak on the subject of prices with accuracy ; te.morrow will to I'4 early as this can be done with any advantage. In addition to the increase in the crop, the ports being allinow closed tells against the sale. In Canadian produce there is nothing fresh. METAL MARKET. There is not much doing generally in this market, except that there has been a little stir in British Cake Copper, which has risen 10s. and 20s. per ton on last week's prices. All other kinds remain as they were. HAY MARKETS.—(Atper Load of 36 Trusses.) CUMBERLAND.
